Using the VPN Wizard for Client and Gateway Configurations
You use the VPN Wizard to configure multiple gateway or client VPN tunnel policies.
The section below provides wizard and NETGEAR VPN Client configuration procedures for the
following scenarios:
• Using the wizard to configure a VPN tunnel between two VPN gateways
• Using the wizard to configure a VPN tunnel between a VPN gateway and a VPN client
Configuring a VPN tunnel connection requires that all settings on both sides of the VPN tunnel
match or mirror each other precisely, which can be a daunting task. The VPN Wizard efficiently
guides you through the setup procedure with a series of questions that will determine the IPsec
keys and VPN policies it sets up. The VPN Wizard will also set the settings for the network
connection: Security Association, traffic selectors, authentication algorithm, and encryption. The
settings used by the VPN wizard are based on the recommendations of the VPN Consortium
(VPNC), an organization that promotes multi-vendor VPN interoperability.
